520 |a "The Bridge to Literacy is a call to action from one of the country's leading advocates for literacy. Bringing together leading literacy researchers, advocates, and champions from across the country, John Corcoran gives an in-depth look at the crisis of illiteracy in the nation - both at the adult and childhood levels - and outlines his recommendations for where to best solve this growing problem. And no one knows the problems of illiteracy better than John Corcoran, who didn't learn to read until he was in his 40s."--BOOK JACKET.
